My Visit to Malaysia Begins

I spent most of the day today on a plane. The airport here in Kuala Lumpur runs much more efficient than Tokyo Narita. My driver Hon Seng picked me up at the airport and we drove into Kuala Lumpur to my hotel which is right next to the Petronas Towers. They were until very recently the tallest building in the world and are still the tallest twin towers. This evening I had dinner with Pack Huang, who has been arranging my schedule in Malaysia and Professor Dr. Khaw Lake Tee, an Eisenhower Fellowships Alum. She is currently Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University of Malaya. I enjoyed the Malaysian food and the conversation. I am looking forward to the rest of my program here in Malaysia
